It's a little thing that no one else would notice. Something small, insignificant, and almost imperceivable to others. You'll be sitting on the couch, walking down the street on a winter day, or settling in for an anniversary dinner, and your significant other will say something no one else would understand unless they saw that movie on that day 3 years ago, and your world becomes complete. Our sig others are always there to remind us of their love with the "little things," and Reddit user, r/alph8x, wanted to know specifics when they asked:

What's the cutest thing your SO does?

When we're cuddling and i try to get up and do something, he shouts 'koala!' and wraps both legs and arms around me, so i can't escape

ghastly-est

She can't help but smile at least a tiny bit when we see each other.

If we run into each other by surprise, she gets this massive grin and it's just so heartwarming!

KingBassTrombone

When she can't remember words and tries to describe them.

Last time she forgot "flour" and asked me for some bread dust

AWBeatz

When we are out somewhere he will randomly say "I wonder what the dogs are doing right now.."

Grrriwantasammich

My husband is a very tall, tough, very "alpha" male type... and he is a sucker for our two cats.

I once caught him googling "how do I know if my cat loves me". He also always buys them both a present if we go away on vacation, and he has been known to stop home to cuddle the cats if they've been home alone all day.

When she's asleep, I can run a finger through her hair or rub her back or something. She will smile and moan a little 'mmm' before nuzzling and starting to snore again.

She's also too kind for her own good.

Aldersonelite

We have our computers set up next to each other and mine is closest to the door so when he walks over to his computer he has to walk past me and every time he does, he'll put his hand on top of my head and slide it down to my shoulder. I'll nuzzle his hand and he'll kiss the top of my head, it's really really comforting and I don't think he realizes how much it means to me.

When she laughs really, really hard, she'll cover her mouth with both hands as if to hide the fact that she's laughing. But obviously I can still hear and see her laughing, but she does it every time. God I love her so much and just got a sudden urge to tell her that I do right now but she's asleep.

FrostyObject

When I come home from work and fall forward on my bed to relax, she comes behind me and falls forward onto my back to relax.

ShellSwitch

Sings to our dog. He changes the lyrics to incorporate her name.

Moomaliciousoz

She tells me to stop contacting her, she's moved on.

Gosh she is so cute sometimes! It's the little games we play <3

jakeykeywheels

I'm still asleep usually by the time he leaves for work in the morning. Before he leaves he always comes back downstairs to give me one more hug and kiss. 70% of the time I don't wake up but he still does it every morning

raspberryberet95

My SO is super funny and when he tells a corny/stupid/silly joke he takes a second for me to get the joke then gives me the most adorable smile/smirk.

His smile is just the cutest thing ever and just fills me with happiness and reminds me how much I love him.

rachinator87

His sneezes. Imagine a buff dude sounding like a puppy when he sneezes

SamuelIgnis

She's a morning person, I am not.

But she lets me sleep in and waits for me to wake up. Often times, I'll wake up and she's still in bed, and she perks up when she notices me waking up, with her eyes all scrunched and a huge smile saying "My lump is up!"

while-true-do

He has the personality of a golden retriever

trd2000gt

I'm about 21cm (8 inches?) taller than her. From time to time she comes in for a hug, then puts her feet on top of mine and has me walk her through the room.

I love it.

schanjemansschoft

She created her own dance to the King of the Hill theme song.

I can't change the channel until the routine is complete.

eastw00d86

Her use of English (her second language). We were watching a documentary and a polar bear cub came onscreen. She yelled, "BABY, I WANT A PUPPY OF BEAR!"

votewithyourmoney

I can tell when she's fallen asleep because she starts farting like a Clydesdale

fivestringsofbliss

He doesn't mind kissing me in the morning even if I have bad breath.

nyzzaklaire

Every single time one of us comes home, leaves, goes to bed, or wakes up, he kisses me. We kiss hello, kiss goodbye (even for a 5-minute run to the store!), and kiss goodnight. He goes to bed and wakes up much later than me. I always wake up when he gets in to bed, and he always kisses me goodnight.

The only exception is when one of us is absolutely filthy or covered in allergens (usually me, after gardening or going to the cat cafe). Then I say, "Don't kiss me yet! I'm covered in yuck! I owe you one when I'm done showering!" He doesn't protest, and when I'm done showering, he asks for a kiss.

Coming from a marriage where my ex-husband wouldn't even look up from his computer when I came in, this is odd and adorable and much appreciated.
